Abstract
Downsized employees are facing a very difficult job market in the 1990's, and these employees may initiate legal actions against their company. California courts have reported a surge of more than 100,000 employee suits. When these cases are tried in front of a jury, statistics show that the employer loses 78 per cent of the time, with an average award of $424,527.
